Description

Jim Moginie, founding member of the iconic Australian rock band Midnight Oil, shares a deeply personal and moving memoir of family, loss, and rediscovery. For over fifty years, Moginie was a driving force behind the band's success, but a nagging sense of something missing in his life remained unresolved.

As Moginie delved into the challenges of chart success, global tours, and political activism, his quest to find his birth family led him down different paths, to the quiet suburbs of Canberra and the meandering rivers and verdant hills of rural Ireland. Along the way, he recounts vivid recollections of childhood, behind-the-scenes stories of band life, and fascinating insights into the creative processes that produced some of Australia's most beloved songs.

This lyrical coming-of-age story, heart-warming family chronicle, and memoir of self-discovery is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of Australian music and the power of family to shape our lives.
